Phenotypic Adaption of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Hacking Siderophores Produced by Other Microorganisms [Research]

Bacteria secrete siderophores to access iron, a key nutrient poorly bioavailable and the source of strong competition between microorganisms in most biotopes. Many bacteria also use siderophores produced by other microorganisms (exosiderophores) in a piracy strategy. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, produces two siderophores, pyoverdine and pyochelin, and is also able to use a panel of exosiderophores. We first investigated expression of the various iron-uptake pathways of P. aeruginosa in three different growth media using proteomic and RT-qPCR approaches and observed three different phenotypic patterns, indicating complex phenotypic plasticity in the expression of the various iron-uptake pathways. We then investigated the phenotypic plasticity of iron-uptake pathway expression in the presence of various exosiderophores (present individually or as a mixture) under planktonic growth conditions, as well as in an epithelial cell infection assay. In all growth conditions tested, catechol-type exosiderophores were clearly more efficient in inducing the expression of their corresponding transporters than the others, showing that bacteria opt for the use of catechol siderophores to access iron when they are present in the environment. In parallel, expression of the proteins of the pyochelin pathway was significantly repressed under most conditions tested, as well as that of proteins of the pyoverdine pathway, but to a lesser extent. There was no effect on the expression of the heme and ferrous uptake pathways. Overall, these data provide precise insights on how P. aeruginosa adjusts the expression of its various iron-uptake pathways (phenotypic plasticity and switching) to match varying levels of iron and competition.

Invitation Only Research Event

9 March 2020 - 8:15am to 9:15am

Chatham House | 10 St James's Square | London | SW1Y 4LE

Event participants

Dr Ben Buchanan, Senior Faculty Fellow, Georgetown University Center for Security and Emerging Technology
Chair: Dr Lindsay Newman, Senior Research Fellow, US and Americas Programme, Chatham House

Concerns about divisive and disruptive technology have been amplifying. The current US administration has adopted policies that have exacerbated these fears, including banning US companies from selling to Chinese technology firm ZTE and placing Huawei on the US Department of Commerce’s Entity List. From underseas cable taps to election interference, new technologies have transformed how great powers interact with one another. While increasingly common, cyberattacks can vary widely in both form and impact and adds an additional layer to geopolitical competition.

The US and Americas Programme at Chatham House launches the Chatham House US Foreign Policy Forum with a discussion with Ben Buchanan of great power competition in the digital age. With analysis based on interviews, declassified files and forensic analysis of company reports, Buchanan will analyse how China, Russia, North Korea, Britain and the United Stacks hack one another in order to maintain dominance on the world stage.
